Malaysian health authorities are alerting residents to exercise caution against scams targeting individuals seeking to register for medication delivery programmes through the postal system.
The warning comes as criminals attempt to exploit public interest in convenient home delivery of medications. According to health ministry officials, the legitimate postal medication registration programme operates solely through authorised Ministry of Health (KKM) facilities and clinics.
Crucially, genuine registration for the programme incurs no fees or charges whatsoever. Members of the public who encounter requests for payment or are directed to unauthorised channels should immediately cease engagement and report the matter to relevant authorities.
Residents seeking to register for the official medication postal delivery scheme are advised to contact their nearest government health facility directly or visit the Ministry of Health's official channels for verified information. The ministry continues to monitor scam reports and urges the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent actors seeking to exploit health-related services.
